while thinking about how to explain the tagging mechanism, I had the

In my opinion it is easy to imagine a view as being a pure virtual
and
dynamic thing. I think the term "workspace" is strongly connected to
the static workspace of old-style window managers.
What do native english speakers think about that? Should we better
use
"view" or "workspace"?
I'm no native speaker, which is obvious.
But I think 'workspace' is a well-known term, which don't
implies the existence of other static workspaces in general. It
only reflects the viewable windows at this time.
'view' sounds rather abstract to me.
View is better in my opinion, as a view is flexible. A workspace
implies a very fixed structure. FWIW, I am a native English speaker.
